Housing, Integration & Settlement (HIS) of African Refugees in Canada Program

Overview

• Adequate and affordable housing is a major concern for refugees in Canada. The HIS program will strive to address this issue by assisting refugees in finding suitable accommodation, alleviating overcrowding and ensuring they have a safe and secure place to call home.
• Successful integration into Canadian society is a key challenge for refugees, on procedural guidance, language training, access to education, employment opportunities, psychosocial support, and social support networks. Equally, barriers such as language, trauma, cultural and religious differences, and lack of self-esteem exacerbate the challenge.
• The HIS Program aims to provide vital support to thousands of African refugees in Canada, ensuring their survival during the early stages of resettlement. This includes comprehensive support to address the immediate needs of essential supplies of sleeping mattresses, jackets, shoes, clothes, blankets, sweaters, and other necessary items to ensure the comfort and well-being of the refugees.
• Equally, female and baby support packages including hygiene kits, detergents, hand soaps, baby wipes, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body rub, cleaning supplies, and basic kitchen utensils such as pots, cookers, and cleaners.
